Tribute
On Thursday, June 22, 2017, Mr. Harry Tymofichuk of Oliver passed away at McKinney Place Extended Care, peacefully into the arms of Jesus at the age of 90 years.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife Rose; sister Mary and brothers Alex and Nick.
Harry will be fondly remembered by his loving family including brothers Peter and Walter; sister Nancy; children Donna (Terry), Gary (Dianne), Linda (John) and John (Shelley); grandchildren Leah (Ryan), Scott (Stephanie), Jeff (Melissa), Derek (Taryn), Jason (Breanna), Brad (Tamara), Ray (Sabrina), Lisa (Dayton), Emily (Andy), Marci (Mike), Amy (Jonathan) and Gage; 13 great-grandchildren and special friend Doris.
Harry was a very well respected funeral director with over 40 years of service to families. He started in Lloydminster before moving on to Dawson Creek, Kelowna, Kamloops, Penticton and Oliver.
He was always very active in his community and church. Harry was a member of the Knights of Columbus 3rd and 4th Degree, serving many offices including District Deputy. He was a long time Royal Canadian Legion Member after serving active duty with the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II; a Rotary member (receiving the Paul Harris Award), Kinsman, K40, Sage Valley Voices and the Catholic Church Music Ministry.
Harry and Rose travelled and saw the world with many friends on trips to Europe, Australia, Mexico, Hawaii and the Holy Land. Harry enjoyed singing, woodworking, fishing, playing in the band Bill and the Border Boys and entertaining the community with Four of a Kind.
The family would like to thank the wonderful people at Heritage House and McKinney Place, the Doctors, nurses and staff at SOGH as well as all who have sent condolences and well wishes.

Dear, Linda, John, Brad & Tamara,
I was sorry to read of Harry’s passing. I only knew him through Sage Valley Voices but he was always such a nice man & I enjoyed visiting with him after our concerts when he no longer sang with us. It was so interesting reading his history as I had no idea what he did for a living; that he was a WWII veteran; or that he & Rose were world travellers.
A good man…a life well lived! I know you will all miss him. You are in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Lois & Len Bzdel
